EGGS

i eat raw eggs all the time usually around 7-9 in the morning with protein shake and a bannana, been doing this for years for size and shredding and no problems. but there is a small chance of catching saminela, i cant eat 9 eggs cooked to much to eat at once.

ive read somewhere that the eggs are digested and utilized better when eaten cooked.

i remember reading its only the shell that can contaminate you. so if you just nuke them for 10 seconds your good to go.

this is merely hearsay, so if you get sick.. sorry.

i just use the liquid egg whites method.

RAW EGG WHITES = Vitamin deficiency

If I remember this right there is a protein in eggs (avidin i think?) that binds biotin (a-lipoic acid does this too) in the body and can cause a biotin deficiency. This protein is destroyed by cooking, so I'll pass on the raw eggs. Aha! found some info.

Avidin
Avidin is a glycoprotein found in raw egg white. It combines stoichiometrically with biotin. The toxic effect of uncooked egg white which causes a syndrome similar to that of vitamin B deficiency (Boaz 1924) led to the discovery of the vitamin biotin (Gyorgy 1931, 1939). The toxic factor, first isolated by Eakin et al. (1940, 1941) who named it avidin, combines with the essential growth factor resulting in a "non-digestible" avidin-biotin complex which is not absorbed from the intestine or from the surrounding medium by microorganisms. Avidin plays an important role in biotin function studies and in the study of several enzymes in which biotin is a coenzyme. Avidin or avidin subunits bound to a matrix have been utilized for affinity purification (Berger and Wood, 1975; Green and Toms, 1973).

Your speech is very nice!

There is concern of obtaining salmonella poisoning by eating raw eggs. However, if you buy the pasteurized eggs, which costs just a little more, there are no more worries. Eat 'em cooked or raw!!

salmonella poising is very rare. i think i read some where that 1 in 15000 eggs have that wrong with them. i would take my chances. i dont think eating raw eggs is to bad for you but there are better alternatives.

You are correct!!

Here's the deal with eggs. Eat whole eggs, 6 whole is the equivilent of 12 whites plus you are getting a complete protein and amino profile with whole eggs. Eating only whites leaves the protein incomplete in it's profile and you are not getting all the good nutrients out of them. Plus they tatse better!

Yes, if you're gonna eat raw eggs it's better to eat them WHOLE. Why, because eating raw egg whites only will strip your body of the essential B-vitamin biotin. However, good 'ol nature has a remedy for this. Egg yolks are the richest source of nutritional biotin, so consuming the entire egg, yolk and all (NOT THE SHELL) will eliminate this problem!

Many actually believe that eating raw eggs is better than eating them cooked. As we know, cooking kills most of the essential enzymes which are needed for maintaining general health as well as proper digestion. I believe BBer's are effected by this even more-so because we generally eat more and we eat substantially more protein than the average person.

If contracting salmonella scares you, buy eggs from HEALTHY chickens (cage free, organically fed) as only sick chickens lay eggs infected with salmonella. Not to mention only 1 in 30,000 eggs contains salmonella in the first place! That would give you one chance of catching it every 42 years!

You may also think that buying pasteurized eggs will eliminate the possibility of catching salmonella! Maybe... But the process of pasteurization actually denatures the proteins bio-availability and all it's essential enzymes... therefore what would otherwise have been the "perfect protein", is now not so perfect at all! (by about 30 % less).

So, if you want to consume raw eggs, buy the good one's (you can still use the "not so good" ones for cooking) and eat them whole (white and yolk).
